The
hope of our resurrection - Lent 5
What is the significance of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead? It is
more than a miraculous event. It is a "sign" of God's promise
to raise up all who have died in Christ to everlasting life. That is why Jesus
asked Martha if she believed in the resurrection from the dead. The Christian
creed, which is the profession of our faith in God the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit and in the saving power of God, culminates in the proclamation of the
resurrection of the dead on the last day and in life everlasting. This is our
faith and our hope.
God gives us the power of his Holy Spirit that we may be made alive in
Christ. Even now we can experience the power of the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus in our personal lives. The Holy Spirit is ever ready to change and
transform us into men and women of faith, hope, and love. May the Holy Spirit
strengthen within us the life and joy of God and the hope of heaven.
